Caberg Drift Evo LB29
Bergamo-based helmet specialist Caberg has been producing helmets for the road sector for over forty years and was one of the first companies to bring a flip-up helmet to the market . At the top of its street range , the Drift Evo has been featured in various World Championships and has been the subject of a constant process of research and development - carried out in collaboration with a number of young talents and top riders from the WSBK Championship . New for 2022 , the Drift Evo LB29 is being worn by Luca Bernardi from San Marino as he steps up to the Barni Ducati Racing Team Luca Bernardi in the current SBK World Championship - making his first appearance at the Motorland Racetrack in Aragon during the first weekend in April 2022 . The LB29 is made in a choice of two fibreglass or carbon shell sizes with a completely removable and washable lining ( including the chinstrap padding ) with hypoallergenic and transpiring fabrics and a removable lower Wind Stop . Ventilation is by adjustable air vents - the lower vent on the chin guard drives air directly to the inner side of the visor to avoid misting ; the vent on top directs the fresh air through the helmet via numerous air channels and out through the rear exhaust vent .
The visor system features Caberg ' s DVT ( Double Visor Tech ), a quick release transparent antiscratch visor with Max Vision Pinlock lens and adjusting pins and an anti-scratch sun visor . Homologation is to ECE 22.05 and the weight for the Drift Evo is 1,380 g and 1,280 g . For the Drift Evo Carbon add 50 g . Also new for 2022 are an additional Ghost Nuke , Freeride Nuke and Horus Camo .
MIVV for ADV
Italian exhaust specialist MIVV has added a new offroad exhaust design , the Dakar - first of all for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 . Additional fitments and applications will follow in the coming months , and MIVV says that Dakar will add " performance and style to all the most popular off-road and ADV models ." The Dakar project is the result of the experience gained by the MIVV R & D department in rally racing - " our study of the specialist requirements in rally racing led to the development of a robust and durable slip-on configuration , capable of matching the style - and engine - of more demanding off-road bikes ." Manufactured in 304 natural stainless steel , Dakar is
available to meet Euro 4 and Euro 5 requirements and has a special " pearled " steel or " black " ceramic-based finish - " which adds to the aesthetics and the ability to make the body more resistant to impacts than a more traditional exhaust . " The new muffler also focuses heavily on lightness : if compared to OEM exhausts , the weight saving is really significant , helping to improve the driving feeling ". MIVV says that on the Ténéré 700 Dakar increases maximum power by + 2.2 hp and torque by + 1.4 Nm ( values measured at the wheel ), weighing in at just 2.10 kg ( compared to 4.80 kg of the standard silencer ) - the bench test results are available on the MIVV website and demonstrate power increases all the way up the rpm range . Next to come to market will be a 2021 Honda Africa Twin application , followed straight away by the 2022 application , then the Ducati DesertX and Aprilia Tuareg 660 .

Gilles - updated footrests
Luxembourg based parts and accessory manufacturer Gilles Tooling has updated its footrest systems offer with the MUE- a " completely new generation of footrest that combines futuristic design with the highest processing quality ". The benefits include significantly simplified adjustability of the footrest position , according to Head of Sales Albert Katgerman . " The positions of the footrests , and the brake and shift levers themselves , can be freely adjusted according to the rider ' s wishes . " The footpegs are positioned using a combination of sliding and rotating adjustments at just one point - making it extremely quick and easy to select ( five positions by sliding and four positions by turning ). The conversion to reverse shifting is done by simply twisting the shift arm ." The brake and shift levers have double ball bearings for perfectly backlash-free function of the levers and the kick components can be adjusted as desired via eccentrics and there are carbon heel protectors on both sides . This system is equipped with foldable pegs . There is an additional option for both switching schemes - the shift linkage can be set in the standard position or the " fast " position ( shift travel is shortened ). The shift lever can be adjusted 10 mm in height without the need to adjust the shift rod or automatic shifter . The system has an ABE and is available black anodised , with colour-contrasting adjusters .
